octoBox Wireless Testbed

octoBox Wireless Testbed, from octoScope wireless test solutions, is a small stackable anechoic test bed used for testing wireless devices & systems. It isolates the devices under test from the outside interference & creates a stable environment for achieving repeatable throughput measurements.

Engineers use the octoBox test bed to measure throughput of the new 802.11 ac or 4G MIMO devices.

octoBox test bed can also be configured for video over Wi-Fi testing, mesh testing (self-forming, self-healing functions of a mesh), high speed roaming and other wireless tests.

octoBox can be used for testing Wi-Fi, 2G/ 3G/ 4G, Bluetooth GPS & other devices

It offers ideal conditions for multi-stream MIMO throughput and supports the operating frequencies from 700 MHz to 6 GHz.

 

There is numerous testbed configurations to meet clients individual testing requirements
Please visit our partner website for typical Applications and Testbeds.

  octoBox quadAtten – DC to 6000 MHz

Module with 4 programmable RF attenuators individually controllable via USB or Ethernet/PoE – 63 dB range * 0.5 dB step

octoBox® quadAtten module contains 4 individually programmable RF attenuators. quadAtten offers the best RF isolation on the market, making it suitable for highly controlled octoBox wireless testbed environment. While off-the-shelf attenuators have to be internally mounted due to inadequate isolation, octoBox quadAtten module mounts externally for easy access. Each of the 4 attenuators can be individually controlled via USB or Ethernet/PoE.

 

  octoBox® iGen™ – Interference Generator

Programmable interference generator emulates Wi-Fi traffic and interference waveforms, including radar

The octoBox iGen module is used to create realistic interference conditions for testing wireless devices and systems. iGen supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac with the ability generate traffic interference or broadband waveform interference. Waveform interference generation includes radar waveform for DFS (dynamic frequency selection) testing, cordless phones, Bluetooth, microwave ovens, baby monitors and other sources of interference. Traffic can be configured for specific load, channel frequency, channel width or priority.

 

  octoBox-TT

octoBox® small anechoic chamber with a built-in turntable for MIMO over the air (OTA) throughput measurements

octoBox-TT features a built-in low profile turntable that rotates a device under test (DUT) enabling you to measure throughput vs. range and vs. DUT orientation. With RF transparent plastic rails and plastic turntable platter, octoBox-TT maintains anechoic environment for accurate and repeatable testing.

 

  octoBox HDMI Filter

HDMI filter suppresses 700 MHz to 6 GHz test frequencies

HDMI filter is an optional filter for the octoBox that allows you to view the video generated by a device inside the chamber without compromising the chamber isolation.

 

octofade_system_550px
octoScope is working with test equipment vendors to integrate octoFade RTL into wireless instrumentation such as VSAs (vector signal analyzers), VSGs (vector signal generators), waveform generators and other test systems.

octoFade wireless channel emulation logic

octoFade™ is the logic implementation of the IEEE 802.11n/ac and 3GPP 2G/3G/LTE channel models.

octoFade is available in the form of C-code, RTL and FPGA based module with digital IQ (in-phase/quadrature) interface. octoFade is suitable for integration into wireless testbeds or test instruments. It is also used by wireless device developers to verify performance and functionality of a baseband subsystem via digital IQ interface.

The functional block diagram of octoFade is shown below.
